Jesus Christ. I knew it was going to be bad, but not
this bad. Someone needs to slap M. Night Shyamalan, kick him in the nuts, then proceed to fire his ass. I swear it's as if no one on the set of filming this thing actually watched the source material. Things I feel like ranting about:
- Getting the names wrong, using "Grandma" instead of "Gran-Gran" mispronouncing Iroh's and Aang's name. Of all the things, this especially pissed me off.
- The BS about the Avatar not having a family. Roku himself got married.
- At least portray Ozai as he is in the show (ie. behind a wall of flames and one evil S.O.B.)
- The earth benders imprisoned with access to earth --> real smart.
- The fire bending:
Quote from Hirazuki99
on a side note in this movie are the firebenders like pyro from x men they can control the fire just not create it cuz in the show it seemed an awful lot like they were making fire from nothing but in the movie they they needed a source and were all amazed when iroh didn't have that setback
- The whole Zhou vs. Zuko was missing some valuable parts.
- Why is Aang talking to a dragon and not Roku?
- Where are Bumi, Jet, and the Kyoshi warriors?
- It's way too serious, especially Suka and Aang. Suka's main role was comic relief, and they even took that away from him.
- The northern water tribe sequence had only 1 water bender I could recall not named Katara or Aang.
- They could have had Aang enter the Avatar State and go berserk on the fire nation, but they opted for some pacifist BS.
- Extending Sozin's comet's appearance to 3 years makes absolutely no sense.
That's all I can remember. It's hard to believe that $150 million was invested and this was the best they can come up with.
